Leeds boss Dennis Wise has consistently avoided all talk of the possibility of promotion from League One ever since United incurred a 15 point handicap on the eve of the new season. However, he has now given the first indication at the extent of his ambitions, by revealing that his approach to the January transfer window will focus around the possibility of starting next season in the Championship.
After defying all the odds and beginning the current campaign with an 11 game unbeaten run the club due not anticipate an extensive influx of signings, with any new acquisitions likely to be dictated by injuries, suspensions and lack of form. Instead Wise is considering what may lie beyond the end of the season, stating 'I will be looking at players who are well capable at the next level as well.'
Meanwhile, the racehorse 'Minus Fifteen', named by owner Steve Parkin after United's points deduction, is set for his first appearance later this week. The 2 year old maiden is due to make his flat debut in Friday's 1.30 at Newmarket, with his performance likely to be watched with keen interest by Leeds supporters across the country.
